Kenneth
S. “Ken” Meidenbauer, a lifelong Waukesha County resident, was born to
eternal life Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012, at Seasons Hospice with his family
by his side at the age of 94. He was born in Waukesha on Nov. 1, 1917,
the son of Sabel and Mary (nee McHalsky) Meidenbauer.

He attended Little
Grove Elementary School in New Berlin and the vocational school in
Waukesha. On Jan. 17, 1948, he married the former Thelma Pluess at First
Presbyterian Church in Waukesha. Ken worked for Aeroshade for 28 years
and then for Automatic Welding for 17 years, retiring in 1983. Following
his retirement, he established a business moving cars for local car
dealerships and enjoyed the time he spent with his drivers. Along with
his wife, he loved to travel, especially by car. He was a longtime and
faithful member of First Presbyterian Church and a member of the
Waukesha Motorcycle Club.

He will be sadly
missed by his wife of 64 years, Thelma of Waukesha; their daughter, Lori
(Louis) Boehmke of Waukesha; and his two grandsons, Brandon and Eric
Boehmke, also of Waukesha. He is further survived by other relatives and
friends.

He was preceded in
death by his parents and his sisters, Bernice Heeren and Florence Berg.
